Pega Platform ZDT upgrade issues (upgrading from 8.8.2 to 24.2.1)
We are using Pega helm charts and customized pega docker images for upgrading Pega platform from v8.8.2 to Pega 24.2.1 on Google Kubernetes Engine; we are getting the issue underlined below - Error: UPGRADE FAILED: failed to create resource: admission webhook "validation.gatekeeper.sh" denied the request: [containerdenyescalation] GKE-TEP-CON-0002: Job/pega-zdt-upgrade/pega-installer: Containers should not allow privilege escalation. See 'kubectl explain pod.spec.containers.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation' for details.
As a result our pods are not restarting.
Please provide necessary details on the configuration to be done and parameters to be set for resolving this issue.
